Engineer help..

[Spartan III]

I have finally got the hang of Hex editing. I can do many things, make skins, change music etc. Anywayz, i can't seem to change enemies, like i try changing grunt bytes to engineer bytes, it doesnt work. What am i doing wrong?

[travatine]

whats not working with the enginneer? (the enginneer is only on the silent cartographer and isn't a finished character as it isn't included in the game, you can have it as a character but it will just stand still have have no ai/brains

[Spartan III]

So what your saying is that i need to change the model to an engineers?
Because changing the byte values fucks it up, it crashes on boot up.

[Hivemind]

yes.. although i would suggest using hmt to edit halo since u r dtill rather new

[Spartan III]

Just because i have low posts doesn't mean I am new to modding, for all you know, someone who has never posted here could be a mastermind and better than everyone else, and i am not getting hmt, .net framework is too big, can't get it, dont have internet at home, and i can hex edit, it just doesnt work for enemies.

spartan 3 i also suggest just swaping the grunt vaule with the enginner value .
but give meta editing a try cause its cool too

[Spartan III]

Swapping values doesn't work, and as for meta editing, do i just search for the value in a hex editor?

change the biped of the grunt 2 the engineer
BUT
the engineer's r invisible so swap em with a covenant u no 2 find easily once u hurt em they turn un-invisible i.e grenades
that is if u use xbox not pc

[Spartan III]

I'll give it a go, whether it works or not i dunno.
I hope this let's me see the engineer, or would i need to change the model?

[maca_s]

nah jus overwrite the hunters biped offset with an engineers biped offset then in a bit of the silent cartog where u no a hunter will be throw grenades around if u get it right u will c this pink lookin blob go in2 the air, plus it floats so yer LOOOOOOk

[Spartan III]

Wouldn't it be possible to overwrite other things, so it's exactly the same as an engineer would be. I want to have engineers looking like they did on that first engineer mod screenshot. I will try your method when poss, and see if it works!
